Description of the research topic:
Viticulture is among the most valuable agricultural activities in Hungary and forms an important component of the cultural heritage and is even featured in our national anthem. As the sustainability and rentability of viticulture in Hungary is increasingly threathened climate change, particularly by warming-riven drought-stress, knowledge on the physiological differences among rootstocks, scions and their interactions with microorganisms is essential for responding intelligently to the above challenges.
The holobiont approach of the proposed research and the used cutting-edge molecular and bioinformatic tools will provide unprecedented insights into how warming-driven drought stress shape grapevine physiology and microbiome composition and functionality, with direct implications for the viticulture industry in Hungary and elsewhere, that increasingly face problems related to water stress due to climate change.
